Hi. New forum member here, and recent owner of Galaxy S26, as well as long-time owner of Galaxy Tab A9+. I'm using NavStar 8.0.00.69 on a both the S26 (One UI 8.5 with Good Lock) and the Tab A9+ (One UI 8.0 with Fine Lock). Under Create New, I can select only the built-in navigation icons. Samsung's NavStar description says custom images can be used for navigation icons and additional buttons can be added, but neither option appears in my version. Is this functionality actually available in NavStar 8.0.00.69 on these devices?

USER ERROR! Sorry, being new to One UI (former Pixel user), I didn't grasp the significance of those icons. Thanks so much for the quick reply!

So the NavStar default icon set has a Pixel-like set of solid, gray triangle, circle, and square. But strangely, in this particular set, the icons are all a little bit smaller than the icons in all the other sets. So I created a set like that in black, and a set in white, using slightly larger icons.
Each of these sets works fine, but unfortunately the colour does not adapt to different colour backgrounds, the way it does on the Pixel. I've heard that at one time, NavStar did have adaptive colours, but that option has been removed?
It would be great if that option were restored, but meantime, is there another way of achieving the same result?

Now I've noticed that if I use one of the NavStar built-in sets, that the icons in the nav bar do modify their colours when the background changes. But this doesn't happen when I use the icons which I created. The icons which I created are .png files, and have solid colour, with a transparent background. Should they perhaps be created in some other way in order to adapt to the background? How are the built-in icons created?
